I passed first time with top marks in both theory and hazard perception! This site was the best around - clear and easy to use. It meant I was able to approach the test with confidence. Thanks for a great product!

The theory test is made up of 2 parts; the hazard perception part and the multiple-choice part. If you fail one part you fail the whole test.
A pass mark for the multiple-choice test in the car theory test is 43/50, which means you need to get a score of 43 or higher. So the pass mark for the multiple-choice is therefore 86%.
The second part of the UK theory test is the Hazard Perception test. Hazard test has a maximum score of 75 and to pass you need to score 44 or higher. So the pass mark for the hazard perception test is approximately 59%.
